David -
Here is a link to search results on http://www.esri.com.
http://search.esri.com/results.cfm? h=10&ho=0&q=arcview+shapefile&sa.x=26&sa.y=11
ESRI is the leader in GIS software and the maker of the application, "ArcView". Check out the link for the first search result on the link I gave you. The first result is entitled "ESRI Shapefile Technical Description ". It's a pdf whitepaper, and should get you started.
Also, here is GRASS (http://openosx.com/grass/), "the opensource alternative to ArcView..."
Cheers...James

I want to import some data into my database, but it's in an ArcView Shapefile, which I've never worked with. Does anyone know what kind of software I can use to access this data? Actually, I'd probably import it into a spreadsheeet first, then save it as a csv file and import it into my database.
Thanks.
